| Re: words distinguish It's nearly 3 o'clock It's almost 3 o'clock Here, I'd say that 'almost' is closer than 'nearly', but they could often be used pretty interchangeably. 'Hardly'is different- it makes something very nearly negative: I hardly tried = I made very little effort. Hardly anyone turned up = very few people were there  |
